re: So, you're thinking that a win by 1 popular vote is different than a loss by 1 popular vote? You think such a win is "statistically significant"? You think a win by 1 popular vote would be legitimate?

What the hell are you talking about?

I think the winner take all electoral college system is flawed. If folks want to honor the FF desire for representatives to vote, then encourage the states to apportion their electors by the popular vote in that state. If the vote is 50/50, the electors are 50/50.

But I think the best system is the popular vote. That way the fraud and mistakes are spread over a much larger base of voters, and will be more lilely to cancel each other out on both sides. Now, one screwed up county can swing one screwed up state, which can swing an entire election.

Frankly, in this election, I think that would be in Bushs favor. Quit fighting the last battle, it's over.
